Romans: Triumphant Faith!
These recordings are from a succession of beautiful summer nights, in a city park environment, in a field behind a public apartment complex - reading through the book of Romans together. Loudspeaker and all. :) It was an occasion where a brother was asked by a number of others to open up his heart on Thoughts from Romans regarding Faith, Sovereignty, and Life. 7/6/1994

(Just for understanding sake, 99% of the occasions the Church is together would be best described by 1Cor.14:23-38—normal Church expression of Jesus' Life in the midst of His People. On some rare occasions, such as this below, the Saints' time together might better be described by Acts 20:7, where PAUL "dialogued" until midnight, or Acts 19:8-10 where, again, Paul had some things to say. The PRIMARY way a Church under Jesus' Lordship and Headship should function, day to day, gathering to gathering, is BEST described in 1Cor.14:23-28. "Sermons" by some particular "special guy" or "official pre-assigned leader or teacher or speech-giver" is entirely unBiblical, and disobedient to the Command of Jesus Himself. This is far from that. If you were to be encircled, enlivened, and endued in daily LIFE, "contending as One Man for the Faith," "joined and knit together by every supporting ligament," then the Acts 19 and Acts 20 situations make more sense as unique circumstances, for a Cause. Just for clarity sake, this is not to be confused with a "sermon" or "bible class" or some such thing. "You had to be there." ;) Do read 1Cor.14:23-38 as the norm amongst God's People, anywhere that JESUS is the Living Head—rather than a religious memorial "service"—"about" Him or "to" Him, or "for" Him. Let's go to Higher Ground! Although those with prestige, or power, or money to lose LOVE to be "the official" teacher or "preacher" or "pastor"—it's NOT God's Way. As the Scriptures say, "The child born in the ordinary, logical way—Ishmael—... will always rise up to persecute the Child born of the Spirit—Isaac—... it is the same now.")
